Good choices, I always had a soft spot for Siouxsie Sioux... In the Summer of 1977... I was living with my parents in Bromley... because of 'The Bromley Contingent' the Banshees had a large 'local Bromley Punk scene following, and Hong Kong Garden was a top tune... albeit, released a year after the Summer of Punk... In 1978... ditto with the Clash: White Man and 1979 for the UK Subs: Warhead... ditto... my choice of the Ruts: Babylon's Burning 1979 :grin:

As I was @ 11 at the time, probably The Wombles, The Wurzels and The Muppets.

Yes it was, Mr Presley, Sir! (as a released 7" single) But I thought I might get away with it :roll: (Because, I am... of course... referring to the bands legendary, lost 1977 early demo-version of this tune!) 8)
Billy Liar :wink:

Not familiar with that one mate :wink:
But actually I too belong to the 12 club so apart from MiB and other chart bound punkers was mostly listening to Beatles and Bowie (the muppets and wombles had already 'sold out' for me by this point!).
Thank you very much
